Historic Heritage Legislation Update

Approval has been received to fix 1 March 2014 as the day on which the Historic Cultural Heritage Amendment Act 2013 commences.

From 11 February 2014, Heritage Tasmania is holding information sessions for local councils to assist them in understanding the new changes.

Separate sessions for architects, archaeologists, planners, cultural heritage practitioners and others working in the heritage sector will be held during March in Launceston and Hobart.

Further details will be issued to key sector organisations for their members and posted online shortly or you can email enquiries@heritage.tas.gov.au to lodge your interest in attending a session.

By 1 March our website will also be updated with new content. Heritage Tasmania is available to answer any questions on the changes. Call Heritage Tasmania on 1300 850 332 or email enquiries@heritage.tas.gov.au.
